That is a very cynical outlook you have there.

you can love the 360 degree comment all you want, fact is that it is a fact, also the work off the ball, as reddy said, this guys played both sports and obviously has no "agenda", leagues a tougher sport than Aussie rules but Aussie rules is harder, much harder in fact.That's very observant of, Joel. I thought they'd waltz it in.
Love the 360 degree comment which comes out ad nauseum when talking about Rugby league players. Anyone who watches Aussie Rules would know even players at the elite level have problems with this. The game relies a hell of a lot of the communication skills of the players around you. Making sure they let you know when you might be in a spot of bother so you don't get caught holding the ball, or are blind sided by someone coming at you on angle that isn't in your line of vision.
They'll find it harder because, for the most part, they're playing a game which they have no clue about playing. Then again, we all know that's not the reason they were signed on for in the first instance, so time is on their side.

what rubbish, one isn't harder than the other
they are different games that require different skills
the 360 degree argument is a fallacy
as much as some AFL fans would like to believe the sun shines out of the hero's arse, even they dont have eyes in the back of their head
players rely on thier team mates to tell them if they are in the clear
just look at Milburn getting run down against the Weagles, he turned around and blew up at his team mates for net telling him he had to get rid of the ball,
how do you think Travis Varcoe makes so many tackles, he runs them down from behind
but hey its AFL, they are superhuman, pretty piss poor argument
what he means by 360 degree vision is that pressure comes from all directions
you often dont know whats coming from behind, with league, the play is all in front of you
israels a great league player, he can break league tackles, he wont be breaking tackles in the AFL
but if you disagree your a muppet,
also, israel is a great league tackler, but AFL tackling is very different, for starters, running a guy down at full speed and twisting him before he hits the ground so you dont get into his back
zero high contact is allowed
bullsh*t, that makes no sense whatso ever
sorry, but our thinking of gridiron
you should watch a game of league one day then came back and try and put forward a sensible argument
oh puleese,
he can bust a 3 man league tackle but your saying he cant bust a tackle above the hips
this probably makes sense to you
that means so much coming from you
yeah no one else does that,
I mean AFL players never get penalised for pushing in the back, do they ?
same as League
here's 10 bucks, go and buy a clue
but you carry on with your "leagues better, tougher, harder, more skilled, more complex" than aussie rules, its amusing me.
making things up now are we ?
of course you can show me where I said that or bagged AFL ?
all I've done is rubbish your stupid arguments

stupid posts? in what way?
fact is mate, if you cant see the difference in the 2 games you need help, the tackling in league is stronger yes, but its very different, the 360 degree comment you all find ridiculous is ridiculous, you do know what 360 degree means dont you? league has basiclly 180 degree pressure, theres a big difference and its a difference these players will stuggle with.
